This blog is to correct the previous website blog. The Wing T Sports Show is now MUCH easier to access. The website is:

http://wingtsportsshow.com/

Check this site out if you haven't already. This site is merely an extension of our weekly show focusing on Urbana High School and youth sports programs. Please note that the Wing T Show WILL be broadcasting (LIVE!) the upcoming Homecoming game against Centennial right here on WRFU -104.5. This game will feature the unveiling of the BRAND NEW Cross Town Championship Trophy fabricated and donated by the Wing T Sports Show. Our website shows recent progress photos and is intended to begin a new tradition like the Wright Street Trophy for the Central-Urbana game.

Stay tuned to for a new feature where each show will be posted to the website as a podcast so you can enjoy radio excellence over and over.

Yes Wing T fans, the wait is finally over. A new website has been created by Tanglefoot Jones and Superdome to keep our listeners up to date with the show as well as provide an avenue to post each week's show on line as a pod cast. The website is below.

Today I heard another show, probably Ray's and it began w/ a spoken word performance on immigration; great stuff.

A few weeks back, I caught one of my favorite Medeski, Martin & Wood shows I’ve seen to date. These guys seem to be a point in their career where they can do no wrong, and the show I saw definitely did not disappoint. So I thought I’d ask a friendly taper if we could use his source of the show for our next podcast and he happily complied with the ask, so hopefully this little podcast mix will help you groove your way through your Sunday. I threw the tracks together using my new “DJ” setup and it’s the first of many more mixes to come from me. Think of it as a dubbed out version of the memories I came away with from the show. Enjoy!

It's been a while Urbana (the city that starts with yo"U"), but I couldn't let this latest nonsense go without publishing another addition of "The Rant".

First, let me start this rant with a question. In your walk of life, whether it's as an professional, student, athlete, etc., what does receiving a compliment or recognition do for you and your continued performance at your job, school, etc? Before answering, let me address those of you who may tend to take things to extremes. I am an avid proponent of humility and placing others ahead of yourself. This is an excellent quality to have and will only serve to extend the power of your influence. Nonetheless, if we are all honest with ourselves, we like to receive compliments and/or recognition. It confirms for us that what we are doing makes a difference. Now, the challenge is to not allow those to "go to our head" and inflate our ego (which is an entirely different topic for a rant on another day). My point today is to simply address the value of a compliment.
